What's causing me not to edit my usercp?

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /forum/admincp/user.php on this server. is this done by a modification or is this by my host provider?

I disable all my hacks and on top of that, I ask my host provider and they told me to post here.

Also, I am testing a fresh board and getting same error.

This may be due to mod_security.

While mod_security can be a very powerful tool, misconfigured or overly strict rule sets can interfere with vBulletins Operation. Below for Apache users you can use an htaccess file and add a specific rule to disable mod_security.

Make or edit your forum .htaccess file and add the following code

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>


Note, place this file in your main forum directory.

Thanks so much for this. I added the file and all is fine now. I had the same problem today, interesting enough.

I have done those. Now, I am going to request my host provider to resolve this. Thanks Marco.

Make sure you have all vBulletin files uploaded.

I had this forum running for years. So all files are uploaded properly.

I check my CGI Error Log
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_unalterable_user() in /hermes/web05/b1372/pow.alejandrox/htdocs/forum/admincp/user.php on line 909

Does anyone know how to disable a mod_security in the php.ini?

I added the

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

in my forum directory. Now, I am getting a blank page.
